SASAWASHI products have several wonder-filled effects. Naturally you may have several questions. This is the page to answer your questions as correctly as possible.

Q/ Why do SASAWASHI products have natural antibacterial, deodorant effects? Why those effects help to improve our health?

A/ SASAWASHI products are made from KUMAZASA, a plant of glamineae family found in highlands of the Mainland of Japan and Hokkaido. KUMAZASA owns natural antibacterial, deodorant effects. From the wisdom of the ancients, Japanese people have learned to use the leaves of KUMAZASA to wrap the rice dumplings. SASAWASHI development team has successfully achieved blending WASHI with KUMAZASA flakes and has manufactured the products with KUMAZASA's natural ingredients in it. This is why KUMAZASA ingredients are preserved in the products.

Q/ Why are towels and clothes made of paper washable? Are the paper-made products worn out after many washes?

A/ SASAWASHI fiber is manufactured by twisting the slit SASAWASHI paper. It is a very durable, washable fiber. Modern technology has enabled us to produce yarns without knots, a secret of SASAWASHI's durability. And the effects do not fade away after many washes.

Q/ Are SASAWASHI products not coarse as they are made of paper?

A/ A new attractive fiber, SASAWASHI provides users with "new feel". There are two other kinds of good-feel materials; "the soft touch" of cashmere and Egyptian cotton and "the dry touch" of linen. But linen has a little prickling touch which stimulates the skin. On the contrary, SASAWASHI has "a unique comfortable dry feel" similar to the senses as if you were walking with bare feet on a beach sand.

Q/ What kind of effects and benefits do SASAWASHI products have?

SASAWASHI products have the characteristics of WASHI since they are made of WASHI blended with KUMAZASA fiber into it. WASHI has enough space between its molecules and absorbs the moisture when humidity is high and emits the moisture when the air is dry. SASAWASHI can freely adjust the moisture as if WASHI itself were breathing. As a result, the SASAWASHI socks do not stick to your skin when sweating or worn for a long time. The socks are kept dry and the comfort lasts long. Also, the antibacterial, deodorant effects of KUMAZASA keep the itch and odors of toes and feet controlled.
Shoji is the most popular product using WASHI, which is also used as a cooking sheet of Tempura to absorb the unnecessary oil. Water and oil separate in natural condition but WASHI is able to absorb water as well as oil. This eliminates the need for soap if you use a SASAWASHI towel. It takes away unnecessary oil from your skin and effectively massage your skin and helps your skin look young and radiant. In addition, SASAWASHI absorbs the dust, pollen, odors in the air and purifies the air with its deodorant, antibacterial effects.
Here is the great difference of SASAWASHI from the "natural products" in the market. Most of the products in the market are named "natural" as catchphrase for advertisement and the natural ingredients are sprayed or applied chemically after the products are manufactured. Actually, they are not "natural" but "chemical". SASAWASHI goods, on the other hand, are so natural because the natural KUMAZASA power as is are preserved in all the products. Imagine the taste of squeezed 100% fresh juice -- this is the sensation you feel when you use a SASAWASHI product.
Once you take the SASAWASHI products into your life, you do not have to use the conventional chemical products anymore. Even if those chemical products are authorized as unregulated medicine, they are mainly made of chemicals and if poured about 3% of the whole capacity of a tank, the goldfish in the tank would be dying and eventually will die. Of course, human beings differ from a gold fish, but there is no change in being harmful. Just keep away from those chemical products--it will be a big step toward your healthy life. After removing the negative elements, the natural ingredients of SASAWASHI will work effectively to your body and solve various inconveniences. Remove the negative elements out of your body and just add the positive elements. Simple but surprisingly effective.

Q/ What kind of influences do SASAWASHI have on our daily life?

A/ Human body is resistant to the foreign and toxic substances coming from a mouth because of the metabolism of internal organs, but is vulnerable to those coming into the body through skin. Those unwanted chemical substances rapidly accumulate in our body and cause us various problems. Although the "skin" works as a guard against the foreign and toxic substances from the outside, chemically substances, such as a surface-active agent, take that function away from the skin. Without knowing, chemical substances accumulate in our body while the skin cells and the power are weakened gradually. SASAWASHI works effectively to improve the inconveniences. The healthy state of a human body, HEALTH & WELLBEING. This is the start of SASAWASHI, is a destination, and the goal.
Naturally, decreasing such a chemistry substance (the products mainly made of chemical products) out of our life leads to the improvement of the earth environment. Since KUMAZASA grows rapidly in a year, using KUMAZASA does not lead to deforestation and it eliminates the need for synthetic chemistry solvent in the manufacturing process. When discarded, it returns to the earth quietly. Burned or buried, it does not harm the environment of the earth. How nice it will be to return little by little our everyday life surrounded with synthetic materials and products to the original natural condition.
